you need to get the saleen headlights for $800 or buy projector headlights for the HIDs. our headlights dont have to correct cutoff pattern for hids.

That can be fixed.

Anyways, 08 is supposed to have factory HIDs so id just wait and go OEM.

I think I am going to buy 2 of the biggest KC offroad lights I can find and mount them in my foglights. That way when I meet one of these HID blue blinders, I am going to switch them both ON wiht my highbeams as well!

The stock reflector is not made for HIDs, they put out a lot of flare ( upward light ).

I've been looking to get some bi-xenon HIDs for my 2005 mustang gt. I was wondering if you have them where did you get them. Also can I just put them into the stock headlight housing with no ill effects? Some people said that they will melt so I just want to make sure about these thing before I spend 400 or so dollars.

Thanks
Hey ricer, do us all a favor and stick with your regular lights. I am tired of those blue HID things blinding the pi$$ out of me at night.

I hope the damn NSTA outlaws these things!
Don't be a troll. Saleen puts them on with thier kits, and that is hardly rice.

You know what think about Saleen.? Their car is ugly; the grill completely sucks. It looks like something a gay tennis dude would drive.

Now I like their supercharger which I had installed on my GT that looks 10000X better than the Saleen.

HID headlights are a pain in the *** to anyone who has to meet them. They throw off too much glare and also all of those weird rainbows and colors (purple) they emit because in instead of reflectors, they use refractive (I'll let you phigure out the physics on that one) elements in the lights.

The goddamn things need to be banned because they are a menance to good drivers on the highway. Guess what, I can see the road just as good with regular halogen headlamps just as good as you can with HIDs!
